“Jenna and her amazing team provided both hair and makeup services for my wedding on June 20th, 2026. Jenna truly made me feel like a bride. I was so sad that I had to take off the makeup and take down my hair because it was just so perfect and even better than I ever imagined. I’m incredibly grateful for Jenna’s patience, flexibility, and for making me feel the most beautiful and confident I ever have! Jenna also worked her magic on my mom. My mom is someone who never changes up her hairstyle or typically wears a lot of makeup. Jenna was incredibly patient and made her also feel beautiful and confident! I’m extremely grateful and appreciative of her role in making my big day so special and memorable! Additionally, her amazing team Mahroza, Iliana, and Michelle V. worked their magic on my bridesmaids and both of my grandmothers. They were all incredibly patient and flexible, whether it was making due with limited counter space and chairs, and/or taking the time and care to fix and touch up the girls’ hair and/or makeup until they were completely happy and satisfied with the results. I can’t thank and recommend Jenna and her team enough; they are the best and ideal hair and makeup team to have if you want your dream wedding look to be achieved and for the stress of getting ready to be taken off of your shoulders. They allowed me to relax and to just be present and take in every moment of the morning.”

My hair stylist was Wendy and my makeup artist was Adele. I loved starting my day with both of them! They were so chatty and welcoming to all my bridesmaids and had great conversations with all of them throughout their time in the chair. The getting ready room had amazing energy and they were quick without cutting corners on quality. Everyone was extremely pleased with their looks and they lasted all day and night no problem!

She came over at 5:15 a.m. because I wanted to do a sunrise ceremony, and let me tell you, she was so great. Not a complaint, super excited, and so professional. Since I wasn't able to do a trial, it was all morning of and it was so perfect. I wanted a messy but elegant style that would last all day with a couple of braids. It was BEYOND my wildest dreams. 100000/10 would book her for anything and everything.”
